Creamy Tuna Salad

Anyone else use Fage (or other brand of Greek yogurt) in place of sour cream? As one of the few dairy products I can tolerate, I use it for any kind of dip or creamy fish/chicken recipe. Here's a favorite - low sodium, high-protein, high-fiber, and low fat!

2/3 Cup FAGE Total 0% (or 2% if you prefer)
6 Oz. low sodium white tuna, drained and flaked
1/2 Cup green peas
1/2 Cup diced celery
1/4 Cup diced red onion
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. dried dill
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. black pepper

I tweak the ingredient amounts and spices to taste, and often add southwestern spicy mustard for extra kick.

    I find Greek yogurt a little too tangy for my tuna, so sometimes I blend the lumps out of cottage cheese and use that instead.

    Sounds great. Never thought of using peas in tuna salad but like the idea of it. Thanks for sharing this one!

    I use pickle juice to keep it moist and a VERY small amount of mayo or yogurt. No calories in the pickle juice and it adds lots of flavor!

    Mayo cannot be replaced in tuna salad, as far as I'm concerned. I just use it in moderation.

    You're welcome! And the peas can be optional - I just like them for the extra flavor and fiber. Very good on pita or rye crackers.
